Homer Jay Simpson (sonant by Dan Castellaneta) is one of the independent characters in the animated television series The Simpsons. When a father of the Simpson personal, Homer is corpulence, sleeping, gluttonous, & none as well brightly (watch HOMЯ), & his behaviour is typically (however not universally) swinish, clumsy, and insensitive, but he however remains loveable. All over a years he has be one of a notable dada inside television.

Overview
Homer works in the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, in Sector 7G, although "working" in thisInstance refers to dozing & eating doughnuts. He lives much of his instance at Moe's Tavern with his lifelong friends Barney, Carl, Lenny, and bartender Moe. Home he is typically to exist as obtained sitting in the lounge mindlessly watching TV when snacking on comfort nutrients & sucking down cans of Duff Beer.

Homer Simpson popularized a annoyed grunt "'''D'oh!'''" (made memorable through Dan Castellaneta's distinctive voice work), which began as an abbreviated form of Jim Finlayson's "Dooooh" from the films of Laurel and Hardy. This modern interjection has uncovered plenty popular acceptance to become involved in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Family
Homer was natural withinside Springfield, in which he grew higher (though of these episode suggests he was innate in Toronto, Canada (watch Age in the image below)). Homer is: a 2nd boy of Abraham Simpson and first boy of Mona Simpson(sometimes refered to as Penelope Olson) married to Marjorie Bouvier a father of Bart, Lisa, Maggie, a half-stepbrother of Herb Powell, & Abbie, the girl of a woman whom Abraham met spell stationed inside Britain in the period of Globe War II and reportedly abandoned according to "cultural differences" too when a fact that he "thought she looked fat." Abbie looks very much such as Homer & speaks inside the similar manner although using an English accent.

Age
It has been suggested in the series that Homer is between 36 & 39 years old. Within the single episode, a quiz indicates he might die at 42 & he wails that he has "only three years to live" (it should exist as noted that Homer or even Margarin's mental arithmetic may not become dependable). Various episodes use given his date of birth when May 12, 1956; May 10, 1955, and March 20, 1955; and potentially 17-23-1956 [sic] (a previous holiday Whacking Day is also in Could 10, which is the causal agent of Homer's birthday to last uncelebrated (Possibly by Homer); it should too exist when noted that within a late episode just Homer remembers his birthday, claiming it the equivalent day as Santa's Little Helper's; although there is no evidence that any of the Simpsons were present at Santa's Little Helper's birth). Around Treehouse of Horror XI, Homer claims his astrological sign is Taurus when reading the horoscope division of a newspaper. This sign corresponds to anyone born between April 20th & Will 20th, which would produce any birthdates non between victims dates shut-in. the single episode got Homer & Oleo attending a 1974 high school class reunion, which would be appropriate for even the individual born around 1955 or 1956 (although these are typically implied that he was when held back the grade, even extra than another time). Homer's place of birth is Toronto, Canada because his mother refused to let her boy become innate around an 'ecologically unsafe' Our contries hospital in account of her rebellious sixties nature and severity.

Address
Homer & his personal probably survive at 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield. Many guide home cost inside Evergreen Terrace come given in various episodes, including 59, 94, 723, 743, 763, & 1094, additionally to 430 Spalding Way.

In the 299th episode Homer's e-mail location was given to exist as [mailto:chunkylover53@aol.com chunkylover53@aol.com]. A e-mail location within wonder belongs to Simpsons writer Matt Selman & can at once exist as emailed to receive Homer style replies, although at a asking of the Simpsons production staff this has been halted.

Personality
Homer's essential personality traits presented themselves early. He was raised exclusively by his father when a approximate age of Xi. Homer slid across his classes & apparently graduated despite non passing Remedial Science until some twenty-+ years late. His senior yearbook reveals a deficiency of interest inside sports & activities, & his quote was "I can't believe I ate the whole thing." Within high school, Homer fell smitten by owning Marge Bouvier, whom he would late marry (though two would later view it experienced number one met piece youngsters at summer camp). As a consequence a completion of Remedial Science, Homer entered Springfield University & graduated due alone to illicitly changed grades. His education was farther buttressed by Clown College, Bodyguard School, Successmanship 101, a Lanley Institute of Monorail Conducting, & compulsory Personal Skills courses.

His microscopic attention span complements his vivid (albeit short-ephemeral) passion for even hobbies, enterprises or induces. Although naturally an passing sleeping human, he is capable of exerting wow effort toward something, if only for even the week or less. Expert examples come whenever he converted wiping down his binford 2000 into the bar, good to spite his local barkeep Moe Szyslak; spent a whole episode researching & emulating Thomas Edison; and attempted to uncover the plot to trade Springfield's baseball team interstate by running in the hunger strike. These massively spirited endeavours may be triggered by all but nothing, when evidenced by his short-fugacious grease collection business.

Health issues
On his health, Homer is unbelievably lucky to exist as alive. He when gained an additional Lxx pounds (32 kilo) in top of his already obese conditiin to get on disability. He has broken just about each bone within his system & received unnumbered cuts & contusion, each major & shaver. He has blown out his knee; got his thumb severed; undergone coronary artery bypass surgery (performed by Dr. Nick Riviera); had laser eye surgery; stabbed himself in the eye with a switchblade; had his face caught in a suction hose and nearly lost an eye; had stiches in his eyeballs as a result of a crow attack; put an electric drill through his eye while attempting to make eye-holes through a metal bucket that was glued to his head; had a cigarette put out in his eye; broke his back on the top of a fire hydrant during a fight; been in a coma because a candy machine fell on him; had his jaw wired shut; donated a kidney; had a crayon wedged into his brain; been rendered infertile from radiation exposure; suffered repeated back trauma; been run-over by a bicycle; been institutionalized (twice); nearly destroyed his stomach with beer and cannonballs; been forced by his cruel boss Mr. Burns to consume radioactive waste with a spoon; suffered four simultaneous heart attacks; been attacked by a swarm of bees; had his abdominal area torn open by a rabid badger; suffered alcohol poisoning (twice); been pummeled while inside of a robot; crushed by boulders and wrecking balls; been bitten by venomous snakes; electrocuted himself (by both tasers and power lines); set himself on fire numerous times; suffered multiple gunshot wounds; nearly suffocated after the garage door fell on him; had a parasitic butterfly burrow into his skin and enter his skull; fallen off of Springfield gorge (twice within one day), had a drawbridge close on his head; tried to sign an insurance paper while it was going through a shredder; had a window closed on his head; and fallen off cliffs, down stairs, and off the roof of the house frequently; gets struck in the face, head, and gut in innumerable brawls and fistfights started because of his poor attitude or incompetence; developed mad cow disease from consuming tainted Krusty Burgers; had his heart ripped out, and also been kidnapped and drugged by strange aliens because he found out their secret. What is more, his brain is cushioned by a unique & eponymous genetic problem: "Homer Simpson's syndrome." This allowed him to take many sequentially punches forgoing falling on top. Moe possibly trained Homer for boxing (by having hobos), although Homer's boxing career ended when he was about flushed by Drederick Tatum (who is lot stronger than the bum). Homer had shot in the mind 4 days by the nail gun. He was hit by the car caused by Marge Simpson. Homer was likewise beat higher by paramedical a 1st instance he had alcohol poisoning. Inside of these episode, Homer acknowledged that his problems by using consistency come due to his perennial head injuries (so went off topic, farther proving this).

Homer too suffers from either many innate conditions, virtually all apparently male pattern baldness, but as well the male "Simpson" stupidity factor, finger squatness (abnormally short & heavy fingers) & a "Simpson butt" (the like big tail, which takes him to put on "balloon seated" pants), which are then familial & which he has passed in to his babies. Homer besides appears to use at times far-sighted vision (on occasion), requiring the have of reading glasses once reading a book or even newspaper.

Homer stands at Sextet'0½" (184 cm).

Mental acuity
As widely evidenced, Homer's mind is vacuous, but sprinkled with occasional dense packets of knowledge. He has shown small bursts of astonishing foresight, memory, creativity, and fluency with language (including Japanese, German, Chinese, Spanish, and penguin). He has once posed the question "Why China is communist, and however We view rudimentary loose markets rise everyplace?" to a bemused Chinese adoption agent. These bursts are almost always temporary, constantly changing, and frequently self-serving. He knows the name of every Ayatollah that has ruled Iran, for example, but only to persuade Marge to let him keep a vulgar T-shirt bearing the logo "Ayotollah Ass-a-hole-a" that she tried to get rid of at a yard sale. He can name several historical Chief Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, but this may well because one bears the name of a food product (Warren Burger). He once mentioned Frank Lloyd Wright in perfect context while arguing with Lisa, then confessed he has no idea who Wright was. Still another time, while using a knife to pull out a bullet, Homer identified all the tissue the knife came in contact with. The nature of this intellect is multi-fold and largely useless as well as transient. He also has musical talent, being able to play the piano. Much of his mental ability is suppressed by the presence of a wax crayon in the frontal lobe of his brain, the result of a bizarre childhood mishap. Also credited is the Simpson Gene, which almost guarantees that male Simpsons become underachievers. His stupidity may be exacerbated further by excessive alcohol consumption and repetitive cranial trauma.

Homer is inclined to fall into fantasy, often drifting off into his own world (such as riding the nuclear bomb a'la Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove, and the infamous land of chocolate daydream) or perceiving reality in a more personally appealing manner. Notable are the odd conversations he has with his own brain, typically in an adversarial tone. For example, once he began a conversation with his own mind by declaring ''"Sanction brain, professional people don't such as pine tree state & I personally don't rather we..."''. His liver once spoke to him too, cheering "Yay!" when Homer had been banned from Moe's bar and thus (briefly) depriving him of the ability to drink beer.

Homer is also prone to becoming very emotional, especially when it comes to his neighbors, the Flanders family, or troubles related to his son, Bart. He has rage issues and has been physically and violently abusive, often towards his son, whom he has strangled and even struck on numerous occasions.

Homer also has an IQ of 55, which technically makes him mentally retarded. This was established in the episode "HOMR", where Homer says his IQ was raised 50 points, and later on in the episode, he asks if there's any place for a man with a 105 IQ (of course Homer's mathematical abilities, or lack thereof, should be considered when placing stock in such figures).

Diet
On the food front, Homer is particularly fond of doughnuts (especially LardLad Brand) and pork chops, but also pie, bacon, seafood and especially salt doodles and pork rinds. He once spent weeks eating a gigantic hoagie long after it went bad, making him deathly ill.

In his gluttony, he has from time to time consumed items that are not necessarily food, such as flowers, Play-Doh, Vaseline, dirt, pure flour, some novelty plastic lobsters from a salad bar, dishwashing liquid, the decorative bride and groom from a wedding cake (which he mistook for candy), a lubricated rubber stopper that had been inserted into his mouth just before receiving electroshock, fancy soaps, a package of dry gravy mix he found in a parking lot and men's slacks.

His diet is not a good example to younger viewers and this point is frequently made throughout the series. Homer typically responds to food with copious drool and exuberant postures, or saying "mmm... ______" of whatever food he's about to eat or thinking about (not always necessarily food though). He also has his own experiment called "away from this globe moon waffles:" consisting of waffle batter, caramel candy and liquid smoke baked and wrapped around an entire stick of butter.

Homer drinks large quantities of Duff brand beer, both at Moe's Tavern and at home. He has occasionally experimented with Fudd Beer too, when no Duff is available. In his youth Homer apparently drank a brand called "Billy Beer". In one episode he finds a years-old can in the pocket of an old jacket and, of course, drinks it.

Enemies
Homer has garnered more than a few lasting enemies. Most notable is the deceased Frank "Grimey" Grimes, for whose death Homer was indirectly but intensely responsible. This naturally resulted in the rancor of the aforementioned's son, Frank Grimes, Jr. Other adversaries of note include his sisters-in-law Patty and Selma Bouvier, employer C. Montgomery Burns, mobster "Fat Tony," Springfield University Dean Bobby Peterson, president George H. W. Bush, the Emperor of Japan, "The Fat Little Dixie Chick", New York City, PBS, the State of Florida, Sean Hannity, an Inanimate Carbon Rod and a Krusty the Clown killerdoll. Along with the rest of his family, he is banned from every state in the United States, except North Dakota & Arizona, rejecting the latter because of its perceived funny smell.

Sexuality

Although married to Marge and the father of three children, Homer's sexuality is not entirely certain. He has been kissed by at least two other men (his brief personal assistant Karl, and his openly gay temporary housemate in one episode) and has later wondered whether Marge's kiss is the best he has had that day. During his brief career as an artist he paints Lenny and Carl in the showers, unconvincingly claiming that is for "art." That said, Homer has also displayed mild homophobia complaining that homosexuals have taken all the toughest American names such as "Julian" and attempting to ensure Bart grows up "straight" by taking him on an unsuccessful deer hunt. He also once expressed an unwillingness to enter a gay bar, but only out of self-conciousness for his appearance.

Name
Homer has gone by many names and aliases. While in the Witness Protection Program, the family assumed the surname "Thompson" (which he had a hard time understanding at first). After a crooked PI framed Lisa for a crime, Homer took the alias “Brock Strongo.� When he tried to rent a room, the desk clerk asked for his real name, so Homer instead called himself “Lance Uppercut.� Homer legally changed his name to "Max Power" for a time to escape public ridicule. He has also been known by many nicknames, including "Homey," "Homina," "At home-son," "Colonel Homer," "Dancin' Homer," "Mr. Plow," "Mr. Sparkle," "Hungry, Hungry Homer," "El Homo", the "Brick Hit House," the "Southern Dandy," and "Bottomless Pete, Nature's Cruelest Mistake," among others. He once ran a gossip website under the alias "Mr. X." and briefly became a pie-touting super hero called "A Pie Human". "Angry Dad", which was based on Homer, was the name of a internet comic character that was created by Bart. Homer's lack of creativity is on display at the Kwik-E-Mart, where a list of banned check-writers includes the names Homer J. Simpson, Homer S. Simpson, H. J. Simpson, Homor Simpson, and Homer J. Fong.

Homer's middle name, "Jay," is a tribute by Simpsons creator Matt Groening to the work of cartoon producer Jay Ward, creator of Bullwinkle J. Moose and Rocket J. Squirrel. Abe, Homer and Bart all share this middle initial, though not the name. Groening has stated that he named the core of the Simpsons family after members of his own family (Homer was his father's name). He also acknowledges that Homer Simpson happens to be a character in Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust.

Homer also went by the name Elvis Jagger Abdul-Jabbar when he first met Marge, fearing she would lose interest in him if she were to find out his real name.

PIN
Homer Simpson's PIN is 7431.

Religion
When it comes to religion Homer can’t seem to make up his mind. He’s presumably been a Protestant, hedonist, Born-Again Protestant, Stonecutter, Movementarian, Muslim, Hindu, and Catholic—and that was just in his thirties.

Once, he even proclaimed, “Jesus, Allah, Buddha—I love you all!� and “Save me Jebus!� Furthermore, Homer has had many interactions with God himself, and while developing a flat tax proposal, even accidentally proving God doesn’t exist. Furthermore, Homer has extensive knowledge of Iranian theocratic politics and has strong faith in both the presence of Batman and Superman.

Homer also knows that Karma can only be portioned out by the Cosmos, and has demonstrated knowledge of Buddhism (if only to elsewhere display ignorance of the first two noble truths of the Buddha).

Rap Sheet
Homer has been arrested several times in the duration of the series. Offences range from, speeding, drunk driving, triple-parking in a handicap space and removing an Officer's hat, attempted murder of Mr. Burns, bootlegging, tax fraud, kicking a can five times (illegal transportation of litter), bad parenting and grand theft auto. He has also managed to be incarcerated in three different continents.

Pulling A Homer
"Pulling the Homer" is the act of succeeding despite idiocy.
